Description

A process for collaborative creation of print designs on computer communications network}

The present invention relates to a business model and a technical implementation method and system for the co-creation of printing, which can drastically improve the process of creating a print design of textiles using a computer communication network such as the Internet. will be.

Using the business model and system provided by the present invention to cooperate with each other in the process of creating a printing pattern of textiles such as Print Designer, Apparel Merchandiser, Trader, Drawer, etc. Players can use the organic information exchange system through computer communication network to dramatically improve the quality of the final design and the time from the initial creation to the final confirmation.

The transmission and modification of printing patterns in conventional printing of textiles depends on the physical transportation method and the basic communication means, and there are many problems in the speed and accuracy of the transmission. The printing technique is created by the printing company, who works in numerous independent design studios. The designs created by Nak-Do-Do Design Co., Ltd. are mainly displayed in the form of artwork drawn on paper or fabric, and the apparel designer or product planner of the apparel maker visits the studio. Evaluate and purchase exhibited works. The original artwork thus collected is delivered to the broker through the courier system, and various modification requests are made through the document, fax, telephone, and email. The broker sends the originality and correction instructions to the printers on behalf of the product planner and requests the production of a strike-off. To create a sample, the drafting company at Naejin Factory uses scanners and computer-aided design (CAD) tools to convert the original image into color-coded digital strokes. do. This electronic specimen is used in a tracing process that outlines the pattern in black ink on a transparent film. The produced sample is delivered to the product planner through the courier system after confirmation by the broker, and the third modified sample is produced again until the product planner is satisfied, and mass production starts after the sample is completed.

The biggest problem with this approach is the time it takes to deliver the information about the printing and the error of the information about the modification request. In particular, the existing methods have many problems due to the limitations of the text or voice communication methods in the transfer of opinions and information on the artistic characteristics of the printing technique. In addition, there are many difficulties in the process of collecting clothing prints because of time and space constraints, and the cost, time and effort for collecting prints are considerable.

The product development cycle in the fashion industry takes more than a year from product planning to store display, which is important for securing competitiveness. The prevention of prolonged production periods due to communication errors and the production of printed textiles close to the design plan intended by the product planner are more important because they belong to the core competitiveness of the fashion industry, which is decisively affected by fashion and sales.

The present invention was devised to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to jointly develop a printing pattern by operating actors directly participating in the printing of a printing pattern of fabrics such as printing company, clothing product planner, broker, and drafting company. It is to provide a business model and a technology for implementing the same, and an information and communication system capable of supporting the same.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a system that can register a pattern created by Nae Yeo Island Design Co., Ltd. in a database of a central system, and then purchase a design by searching for the registered design. By doing so, product planners can save time, money and effort in collecting designs.

Another object of the present invention is to create a new design by changing the color of the drawings registered through the respective computers connected to the central system through the Internet to create a different design and agree with each other on the modified design. It is to provide a system.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a system in which operating subjects make new designs and agree with each other by changing, expanding, reducing, repeating patterning, applying a single pattern, and the like.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a system for operating a database for storing and managing prints in a central system.

Another object of the present invention is a system that allows the apparel product planner to approve an electronic sample designed by a CAD tool or require modification in the direction desired by the apparel product planner. To provide.

It is still another object of the present invention to prevent trial and error by avoiding communication errors that may occur when the electronic sample of the printing material is directly checked on the computer communication network such as the Internet before mass production of the printing material. To provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a co-creation system of the printing system on a computer network, stores the design created by the printing company in a database of the central system, and then the product designer or the broker searches for the design. You can select and modify it to your liking so that you can create the final design and commercialize it.

Alternatively, the apparel product planner sends the print design to the broker, and the drafter creates the electronic sample with the CAD tool, and the electronic sample is arbitrarily enlarged, reduced, pattern repeated, single Allows you to execute functions such as patterns and color changes.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is an overall system configuration diagram showing a user system 100 to be used by the operating entities connected to the central system 400 through the Internet 300.

2 shows the overall concept of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 2, how the design is jointly made using the system will be described.

Printed design doctor 110 creates the first design and registered in the central system (200). The apparel product planner 120 directly searches the central system 200 to find a design and then places an order with the broker 130, or if the owner owns the design, scans the design to the broker 130. Send to. The broker 130 may recommend the design to the apparel product planner 120. At this time, the apparel product planner 120 changes the design to a design that can be viewed as it is or commercialized, and then requests the production of a strike-off. When the broker 130 requests the drafter 140 to separate the color and make the drafting, the drafter sends the electronic sample, which has been CAD work, back to the central system 200. The apparel product planner 120 then looks at this electronic sample to confirm the design. Several modifications and design changes are possible in this process. Herein, the design change is modified and changed through the process of FIGS. 8 to 9.

Next, referring to FIG. 3, an internal flow of a method of obtaining a desired design after operating agents accesses the central system 200 through the user system (client) 100 will be described.

When the client 100 searches for the design and passes the retrieved design number to the web server 400 of the central system, the web server 400 of the central system receives the received design number from the database 410 of the central system. Find it. The database 410 of the central system passes the design file name to the web server 400 of the central system. Here, the web server 400 of the central system sends the applet coat 440 to the applet 430 of the client 100. The applet code 440 has a parameter value as a design file name value. The applet 430 of the client gives the design file name back to the file system 420 of the web server 400 of the central system. Finally, the file system 420 of the web server 400 of the central system displays the design image file to the applet 430 of the client 100. After searching for a design in the same way as above, the user can see the desired design on the web page.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, an internal flow from initial connection to design search and selection and the stage of viewing an electronic sample will be described.

Initial access is allowed only to restricted users who have already been given an ID and password. Here, the limited users are the operating agents of the system, such as Naksaengdosa 110, clothing product planner 120, broker 130, drafting company 140.

After initial connection, the design is retrieved as shown in FIG. Searching for designs can be done in five ways:

First, the broker searches for designs recommended by apparel product planners. As an example of this manner, reference may be made to FIG. 5. Search and select here to see the design you want.

Second, it is a method of searching for designs by classifying the printing designs by predetermined categories. 6 illustrates a preferred embodiment of a method for a user to retrieve a design registered in the central system 200 using a design category. If you click on a given category on the screen, all designs of the same series will be selected automatically, and after checking whether or not the water-colored effect design is selected, you can see all designs of the same series selected.

Third, the user knows the unique number of the design and searches the design with this. 7 shows a preferred embodiment of a method for a user to retrieve a design registered in the central system 200 using the design number. Enter a design number in the search bar to select a unique design, and search for it to see the design. You can enter the exact design number in the search box, but if you don't know the exact design number, just enter the first few digits and all design numbers that begin with the same number appear on the screen. Select a few of them and search for them. The corresponding design will appear on the screen.

Fourth, the design is searched by the registered date. If you search for a design registered during a certain period, you can specify the date and type to see the design for that period. 8 illustrates a preferred embodiment of a method for a user searching for a design registered in the central system 200 using a registration date.

Fifth, all registered designs can be searched. Here you can search samples of each registered design, view information about each design and a list of variants, view the sample designs and immediately buy copyright from the designer or place an order if you own the copyright. . At the same time, the purchase and order of the design, the message is delivered to the print shop 110 and the broker 130, and the purchase intention and the order is displayed on the design on their screen.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10, 11, and 12, a description will be given of how a system operating entity uses a user system to enlarge, reduce, change a configuration, or change a color chip.

When the design search is completed, the desired design is confirmed, and the design is clicked to select a new window for changing the selected design. 10 shows an embodiment of a window for enabling a design change while being a window for viewing the original design.

In this window you will find a function button that allows you to zoom in and out of the design, as well as the magnification of the zoom. There's also a tile that lets you see the effect of repeating a single image pattern, and a button that lets you see the center of a single image. The colors used in the design are in the form of color chips at the bottom. Selecting one of these color chips brings up a variety of color palette windows that can be changed, allowing the user to select only the desired color and change only a specific color.

FIG. 10 shows the internal logic flow that occurs systematically when each button is clicked to select from the window where the original design can be viewed. If the user wants to change the design image, the user can modify and change the design as desired through the following path.

When the selected design is to be enlarged, an enlargement routine is executed and the design is enlarged step by step through the design enlargement routine. If you want to reduce the selected design, run the reduction process routine to reduce the design step by step through the design reduction process routine. If you want a design that shows the pattern repeat effect of the selected design, you can run a tile processing routine to see the repeat effect of the pattern image. If only a single pattern of the selected design is desired, the center processing routine is executed and the single processing pattern can be seen only.

9 shows the color change structure in the color palette window mentioned above. In FIG. 10, when a color to be changed is selected from the color chips at the bottom, a color selection dialog including a color palette is opened. If you select the color you want, the color change routine converts the existing color to the currently selected color.

As shown at the end of FIG. 8, when the order is selected after the modification routine of the original design is executed, the order contents and the changed or previously selected design are stored in the database of the central system.

13 shows an embodiment of the order window. This shows the preferred embodiment when an apparel product planner orders a modified or modified design from a broker. Through the order window, you can request the details of the order, explain the design changes, and record comments and instructions for other changes.

As explained above, apparel product planners and brokers can easily search for prints by simply connecting to a central system without having to visit several studios to collect prints. By changing the form of, you can create the most suitable design. The design created here is sent to the drafter, who then goes through color separation, drawing, and engraving to produce a complete CAD design for mass production of printed fabrics. This can be provided to apparel product planners and brokers in the form of electronic samples on the Web and approved. In other words, the printing design can be made and confirmed quickly and jointly by the operators of the system.

Although JAVA language and JSP were used to implement the present invention, the implementation language can be developed without being limited thereto.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible by those skilled in the art within the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, a design determined and ordered through the system is jointly created and confirmed by a drafter who designs the original design, a product planner, a broker, and a drafter who designs an electronic sample in a printable form. Because it can be commercialized immediately, there is an effect that has a great competitiveness in the market.

It is effective to drastically shorten the period from the planning stage of the product to the final production stage.

The system's operators can easily search for designs with their own computers connected on the Web without incurring high costs, and simply switch to the ones that are right for them.

This saves time and costs for the manufacture and delivery of the specimen.

By establishing an organic information exchange system through computer communication networks between operators, it is possible to solve the obstacles such as delays, misunderstandings, mistakes, and errors that existed in the existing business systems among locally distributed operators. have.

The effect is to create a variety of variations from the initial basic design.

Immediately after the design is modified, the modified design can be immediately confirmed that there is an effect of implementing the optimum design in a short time.

Even non-professional designers have the effect of making it possible to easily make prints of textile prints by modifying existing designs.

When printing fabrics by receiving orders from foreign product planners like Korea, the errors and difficulties caused by language communication are largely overcome through this system, thus providing an advantageous system for textile export.
